[writing] On the plus side, we have novelette...

My novelette "A Stranger Comes to Kalimpura" clocked in at 14,000 words in first draft yesterday. By my usual standards, this is an incredibly loose, rough draft. I like the beginning and the end, but I'm not so sure about the middle.

Still, it's a story, about Green at around 26 years of age. She's a different woman, with a different role in the world, but still her charmingly ruthless and determined self.

I am glad to be writing.
